Are you a douche bag if you wear Gym Shark?

Replies

I can't imagine judging a person for wearing a brand of gym wear, that's just irrelevant.

Now if a person doesn't rack their weights, treat the staff like an entitled grunt, or take mirror selfies in a busy locker room when people are changing --you bet I'm judging them! With extreme prejudice!

I've always advised people afraid about being judged or self-conscious about going into the gym to not worry because the people there are too busy getting their own workout done to care about other people.

Guess I was wrong. Seems there are judgy people there so their concerns were somewhat founded. That's a shame.

Googled gym shark, looks like regular gym gear? What's it matter to you what others wear? Only time I notice what someone wears is if they have really cool Thai shorts or gloves, most of the time I'm more focused on my own training.

I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread.
